the site lor the I'.xe.utive Mansion, he deluicd 
the boundaries of Lafayette I'ark opi-osite- -even 
thus earlv givmg to it the nan,e of his illustrious 
friend. l,oni;l)efore the ISritisli soldiers tramped 
over it on their way to burn the White House in 
,8m, the political grandees of the Umd had 
begun t., bu.ld their homes around this bltle park, 
and in every sueceeding decade the must famous 
leaders in Cabinet and Senate, in war and diplo- 
macy, have ranged themselves ni.on its border. 



S 



The accompanying plan (Frontispiece) con- 
veys some i^ea of its distinction in recording tlie 
names oi the personages who reside or who liave 
resided around the three avaihible sides o( this 
verdant and Ijeautiful atrium of the White House. 

Where tlie main body of the ArUngton Hotel 
now stands there were three stately residences. 
One was occupied by William L. Marcy, Secre- 
tary of AWir under President I'olk and Secretary 
of State under President Pierce, and when he 
retired he was succeeded in this and the adjoining 
house by the Secretary of State under Puclianan, 
Lewis Cass, who, like Marcy, had i>reviously held 
the war portfolio. In the third mansion, but 
recently sujjcrseded by the noble extension of the 
hotel up Vermont Avenue, dwelt Reverdy John- 
son, minister to England, and there Presidents 
Buchanan and Harrison were entertained prior to 
their inauguration, and there Patti, Henry Irving, 
President Diaz of Mexico, King Kalakaua, Dom 
Pedro and Poulanger found that luxurious seclu- 
sion which sovereigns and artists seek.

Tlie H-slrcet front of the liotcl consists of 
a union of tlic former residences of Charles 
Sumner and Senator Pomeroy, the windtnvs look- 
ing directly upon the White House. President 
Cleveland went from these rooms to his inaugur- 
ation. 

The great double mansion adjoining, on H 
street, was built by Matthew St. Clair Clarke, 
long Clerk of the House of Representatives, and 
afterwards it became the home of the British 
\egation. Here lived Sir Bulwer Lytton and his 
not less famous son and secretary, **Owen 
Meredith," now Lord Lytton, who wrote here 
his most celebrated poem, ** Lucile." In later 
years the house was occu^jied by Lord Ashburton, 
who, witii Daniel Webster assisted by Feather- 
stonhaugh drafted the " Ashburton treaty " which 
defined <uu- Canadian boundary. A still later 
occupant was John Melson, Attorney Ceneral in 
Tyler's Cabinet. 

On the corner of Sixteenth street is St. John's 
Episcopal church — a famous landmark. It was 



^ 



bu.lt after lhcw:a of .8.2 with the earnest cn- 
CMt,rai;cmciu of I'rc.dc.u Madison, and for nearly 
two generations it was the " Court Cht.reh,"- 
attended by every president before Lincoln. 
Arthur was also among its parishioners. 

■V.ross Sixteenth street are two well-known 
productive autl>ors, Col. John llav, l.uwoln's 
secretary, and his lut.uedtate ne.ghl.or, Henry 
\dams, ijrundson of John Quincy .\dan,s. In 
the next house long lived Senator Slidell bclore 
l>e was confederate An.bassador to France ; its 
present owner is Walter A. Wood, a well known 
inventor and manufacturer.

DANIEL WEBbTtR'S HOUSE. 



^ 



The corner house immediately adjoining tliat 
of SHdell was owned and occupied by Daniel 
Webster during tlie whole period when he was 
Secretary of State, and it afterwards became the 
home of the ])hilanthropist, William Corcoran, 
who, during the Civil War, rented it to M. 
Montholon, the French minister to this Capital. 

On the opposite corner, as shown in frontis- 
piece, is the residence of Admiral Shubrick, and

THE BANCROFT HOUSE. 

contiguous to it the present homes of Judge 
Bancroft Davis, diplomat, and the distinguished 
historian, George Bancroft. 



)0 



Facing the northwest corner of Lafayette Park, 
and diagonally ojjposite to the residence of 
Daniel Webster, is the antuiiu.% solid double 
house which Commodore Decatur built after the 
war of 1812 and in which he died m 1820, on 
returning from his duel at Bladensburg. After 
Decatur's death, the house was successively 
occupied by Henrv Clay; Martin Van Ikiren, 
Vice-President ; Kdward Livingston, Jackson's 
Secretary of State ; George M. Dallas, Vice- 
President ; Senatc.r Judah P. Benjamin, after- 
wards Attorney-Ceneral, Secretary of War and 
Secretary of Suite of the Confederacy; and 
hnally Gen. P>eale, whose guest Gen. Grant has 
been' for weeks at a time. \'an liuren had the 
window cut in the suuih wall of this house in 
order that he might see the signals displayed 
by Jackson from the White House. 

' Almost all of the other eleven houses on the 
west side of the park have been occupied by 
distinguished officials ; the one which is now the 
winter home of Washington McLean, of the 



// 



Cincinnati I']ntjuiret\, having successively shcllcicil 
the families of Secretary Levi Woodbury, of Van 
Buren's Cabinet ; Secretary John C. Spent er, of 
Tyler's Cabinet ; i^Kiw. Sickles, M. C, and Vice- 
President Colfax. 








THE VAN BUREN-DECATUR HOUSE. 

Directly oi)posite Arlinj^ton, across \'^eniiont 
Avenue, is the small two-story house, now a nest 
of business offices, where for many years lived 
that fighting officer, Commodore Morris, who 
commanded the Pensacola before New Orleans, 
showing the same energy that his grandfather. 



/^ 



Robert Morris, showed, wlien as Washington's 
finance otlicer, he made the Revolution a success. 
In the house numbered 19 on the Fruntis- 
picn e luive dweU several distinguished people. 
There lived for years Major Rathbone and his 
wife, wlio sat in the theatre box by Abraliam 
Limuln\-> hide when he was .lain, and whose sub- 
seiiueiu lite is tocj sad to be recalled. 

Diagonally opposite the Arlington, is the 
home ot the Cosmos, the largest scienlhic chib in 
the world, in the great mastic building erected 
bv James Madison, when, in 1801, he came lo 
Washington and served as J eUeison's Secretary 
ut Slate till he was elected President. 'ihither, 
twenty years later, "Dolly" Madison returned, 
alter her husband's death, and there lor hfteen 
years she held court and dispensed, during the 
remainder uf a sunny life, a gracious hospitality. 
It afterwards became the residence of Admiral 
Wilkes, when Slidell, whom he was soon to take 
oh a lirlllsli ship on the high seas, lived within a 
btone's throw. 



/3 



In the next two houses have dwelt Secretary 
Windoui, Senator Fenton and Col. Robert G. 
IngersoU ; and in the next below, Admiral 
Paulding, a son of that obstinate soldiec, John 
Paulding, who captured Major Andre. The 










;**^J 



Ji 






ON THE EAST SIDE OF LAFAYETTE PARK. 

house was built by Ogle Taylor and is now 
owned and occupied by Senator Don Cameron. 
The only remaining house on the st^uare is ut 
all the most famous. It was originally the elite 
boarding-house of Washington, and numbered 
among its guests John C. Calhoun, when he was 



/^ 




Jackson's Secretary of V/ar and Vice-President, 
and Henry ("lay, when he was Adams's Secretary 
of State ; then it became the property of the 
celebrated Washington Club, and the place where 
assembled the rich and influential young men of 
fhc Capital ; Sickles and Key were both members, 
and the tragedy which associates 
their names took place in front of its 
door ; later it became the War resid- 
ence of Secretary Seward, and there 
the deadly assault w.is made upon 
him by the assassin, Payne ; lastlv, it 
has been renovated for tiie home of 
James (.1. Blaine, the liiird Se( rctary 
of Stale who has dwelt within its 
walls and the seventh who lias lived 
upon the park 
' This remarkable square might 

/•^^properly be christened Cabinet Park, 
tor around it have lived, at iliiYerent 
times, members of the ofticial families 
of seventeen Presidents. 



IS 



It is fit that in this liistoric heart of the Cun- 
tiiieiu — this rendezvous o( the master! ul men ut" 
tlie RcpubUc — there sliuuld be a house of enter- 
tainment of correspondinj^ magnitude and excel- 
lence. F(jr even the loftiest statesmanship is 
impotent to accomplish results witliout tlie support 
of an adequate cuisine. With the beefsteak tliat 
bears his name the great Chateaubriand was able 
to regain the confidence and friendship of his 
king, Louis Philippe. It was because he insisted 
on dining before fighting that Pompey won the 
hnal \ictory over Spartacus. And in that 
opinion of the importance of dinners, PucuUus 
and Shaksi)eare and Owen Meredith concurred. 
A dinner in the Palais Royale of Paris, timorously 
organized by the Duke of Wellington, was suf- 
ficient to dissuade Bliicher from blowing up the 
bridge of Jena. " I must and will blow it up ! " 
growled old " Vorwarts " over his ]jis([ue soup. 
*' 1 must blow it up!" he said as he finished his 
ragout. But when he had got to his parfait au 
cafe and his third glass of cham[>agne and was 



/^ 



lighting his meerschaum, he convulsively seized 
the Duke's hand ami cried "Mem Gott ! never 
vos sucli a dinner before. I will not blow up the 
bridge of Jena ! " Dinners so anoint the wheels 
of life that they are uf primary importance. 

Since Roessle ^: Son "= opened the Arlington m 
1870, ii has been a surprising and continuous 
success, until, to render it adecpiate for the service 
rcquued, an enormous addition has been made, 
giving a frontage of 315 feet on Vermont Avenue, 
stretching from Lafayette Scpiare to McPherson 
Square, besides the ample frontage on II and I 
Streets. Notwithstanding the spaciousness of this 
addition, only a hundred new rooms have been 
constructed, but for size and sumptuousness they 
might all be called " bridal chambers." Each one 

• ^s early as 184^ Mr. TUcoplulus Roessle opened the Delevan 
House at Albany, and later assuc.at.ng lus son w.th ^^^^J^^^^' 
LhedArhn.ton Hotel at Waslungtun and the Fort W.lUa.n 
Henry Hotel at Lake George. The firm carried the three houses 
ui enterta.nment from a humble beg-nninK to a notable success 
and placed them beyond the reach of r.vals. when the son F R. 
Roessle, bou.-ht all of h.s father's interests and .s now sole pro- 
priclor and inanayer.

is 17 X 22 feet S([uare, and provided with a 
siiperl) l)atIi-r()oin and a dressing-room with 
luxurious cciuipmcnts. 

But il is decidedly the parhjr floor that gi\es 
tone and character to the house. There has 
never Itcfore been an\- place in Washington en- 
tirely suitable for large receptions. The White 
House has a spacious and stately East Room, hut 
the otliLM- parlors are much smaller and stiller in 
arrangement than the splendid suit of drawing- 
rooms just o[)ened at the Arlington. One of 
these oil the WMinont Avenue front is finished in 
the delicate and beautiful stvle of Louis (^uatoize, 
and all of theui can easily be thrown together in 
one vast stretch of floor. The old dining-room, 
doubled in size, will continue to serve as the 

regular dining-n^om of the 

r^ hotel, while the new dining- 

'(,' room will be usetl for Kite 

breakfasts aiid for tea 

but will be chieflv' in 




/r 



re(iuisJtion for receptions, bnn(inets, etc. Some 
of tlie })arlors, on oc.< asions of exigency, will 
also l)e a[)]^ropriate(l for the same purpose. 

The new part of the hotel is all finished in 
hard woods, and is furnished wiih solid .elegance, 
at on( c esliieti( ally and suital.ly. Nut less than 
$400, ceo have been cxi)ended here this year in 
order to give the Capital of liic country a hotel 
commensurate with its highest taste and adequate 
to its largest needs. 

The site of this addition, as has l)een already 
hinted, is historic. The dining-room of the 
Johnson house was the ])rivate din- 
ing- rooiij of the Arlington. The I'lrst 
Ohinet dinner of President Arthur's 
administration was given here ^ 
l)v rostUKistcr-deneral James. 
Se( rctarv l>hiine's dmner to the 
]'"ren( h Centennial visitors to 
"Sorktown was given here, also 
the Mexican Minister's dinner 






i- '< 







If 



to President Diaz. The banquets given by Hon. 
Josei>li Chaniljerlain during liis official stay at 
his Capital were so brilliant as to be events 
in gastronomy, proclaiming the distinguished 
guest an accomplished discij)le of Apiciiis. His 
colleacrues, the American Commissioners, Hon. 
W. L. Putnam and Hon. James B. Angell, also 
dined here epicureally. This first dinner to Mr. 
Chamberlain being an orchid dinner, in celebra- 
tion of their guest's well-known floral preference, 
it was the greatest display of orchids ever made 
at a dinner. 

The Summer House annex is much sought by 
guest.;. Here Senator Hiscock makes his per- 
manent home with his famil\', under the room 
where Charles Sumner died. Here many dis- 
tinguished statesmen have iived. Here the dusky 
queen, Kapiolani, with her dusky suite, abided 
luxuriously. Here Hon. Charles Hall, M. P., 
and his famous colleagues representing F.ngland 
in the International Marine Conference, were 
lodged during their sojourn in Washington, and 
here they gave notable dinners. 



2 



The new addition to the liotel was formally 
opened l.y Secretary IJIaine's reception to the 
delegates to the International American ConL^ress, 
March 29, 1S90. The occasion was memorable. 
All Spanish America was present by proxy. The 
entire maiine band discoursed sweet music. 
Over a iliousand i^uests »vere present, and the 
great parlors showed that they could receive a 
vast crowd and yet not be cnjwded. When the 
feast ended it was remarked that the tables 
lookeil as if it was just about to begin. 

The ban(piet given iiere by Mr. Andrew 
Carnegie excited great comment on account of its 
symmetrical <ompleteness. Kvery zone and 
every clime was r.msacked for luxuries, and the 
nations of the Orient lent obsequious service in 
perfecting the menu. Jt undoubtedly far excelled 
that feast (jf l.ucullus in his villa at Tusculum, 
historic among Roman diimers because it cost 
$10,000. Over two thousand tulips and crocuses 
illuminated the board, and during the service a

concert of very high order was given by famous 
artists. 

Anotiier ionLj;-to-l)e reniembcrcd dimicr was 
that given by Hon. Clement A. (iriscom, of 
Philadeljjhia, to the IiUcrnalional Marine Con- 
ference, conspicuous iiol mcjrc fur llic delicacy of 
the cuisine and the art shown in the decorations 
than fi;r the distinction of the assembled guests- 
As a fitting close to so memorable a season came, 
on April 16, the dinner gi\en to l're.~,idcnt Har- 
rison bv the Latin-Americ an delegates. No more 
distinguished comjiany has e\er a5sem])led in 
^\'ashington at a mtjre beautiful banquet. The 
table was in the form of an eight-pointed star, 
and at these i)oints of })rominence were sealed 
the President, the Vice-President, the Secretary 
of State, the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, 
the President uf the Senate, the Speaker cjf the 
House, the iJean of the Diplomatic Cur^ts and 



a^i 



*h 



the Dean of the asseniblea 
Delegates. Tlie decorations 
were a masr. of coh^r and frag- >^^^1 
ranee lioni a skilleil artist in ^S^^yi ^ -y ;^S 
tlower.^. Tlie points ot tlie star were J^^, Mm ^^/ ' 
12 lu 20 feet lonu; and radiated from ^J-Jti^:^^/^^ 
an oval i entre, 14 ^' 1 «S feet. Down .y^^ 
the nntidle of eacli table ran a belt 
of nuiiden-liair ferns, alternating with 
ba^ket^> of cbioiee roses, lending to the 
scene a varicl\- of undulating loveliness. 
In the t entre of the eolobsal siar stood 
a superb palm whose graceful leaves were 
hung with garlands reminding the hosts of their 
tropical homes. Beneath the jjalm was a mound 
of hundreds of pure white Mabel-Morrison 
roses, while the [)oinls were comi)osed of 500 
Jaccpienhnols imparting to the heart of the star a 
richness of color and vividness of contrasts seldom 
allained in such extensive decoration. Each 
inverted irian£,le between the points was a minia- 
ture garden of maiden-hair ferns, with a cluster of 



^5 






American beauties in each centre, and a wide 
border of sycc)iH)diLun extending entirely around. 
The two ihousantl roses were used iiere, and the .^^ 
15 boulonniers were a jacciue bud and hUes ot ^ 
the vallev. Ivu h corner and each window re- 
cess of the great l)anciuct hall presented stately 
groups oi palms, ferns, a/aleas and liydrangeas, 
and the walls were liung with gigantic rosettes ^ 
of palm leaxes. 'llie urcnestra balcony, m addi- 
tion to other decorations 
and emblem^, bore three 
entwined wrealliSiW laurel, 
each beaiin;-;, in immur- 
telles, the w.ird *' Amer- 
ica." This interweaving 
of three Americas was I -^^ 
em[)haslzed before huge f^ 
loser's kncn <>f broad red, 
while and blue ribbons. J 

'i'his hajipy inspiration, 
expressive of fraternity 
and good will, originated 




a.-¥ 



wiih Uv. Ho.nero, the Mexican minister. The 
entire cUnner was served in less than two luu.rs. 
The service was on phuiers a la Ku.se, and 
each dish was elaborately ornamented and what 
is quite a^ inii)urtant, hot.
